With its casual elegance and easy-to-wear style, this Lena Skadegard is all about the natural beauty of the stones. Faceted briolettes of turquoise, peridot and chrysoprase are crocheted with golden silk cord to create a dramatic strand of color and texture. The necklace fastens with an abalone shell button and loop clasp closure and can be worn long or doubled.

LONDON / NEW YORK - Traveling the globe and dividing her time between three continents, Lena Skadegard is inspired by the power of the earth's organic, raw treasures and the experiences she has within each culture she visits. Believing in the talismanic power of jewelry, she follows the story provided by the energy of her materials - each piece evocative of a particular place, history, faith and landscape - and hopes it is continued by the wearer.

The palette of her collections is rich and diverse, echoing the origins of the beads, stones and silks used to create the jewelry. Combine and layer, wrap and drape - allow each of the unpresuming necklaces and bracelets infuse their protective properties into your personal style.
